#growing up poor

Younger Me:WatchesOuran Host Club,laughs at Haruhi being frustrated and always going “these damn rich people” and doesn’t think much of it because I literally never thought I’d ever be in that situation.

Fast forward to me a few semesters ago when I went to my very first Ancient Greek class:

*Realizes that I’m in a major FULL of rich kids with very influential and powerful connections. As an extravert, I tend to befriend people around me which wasn’t hard (and I didn’t realize they were rich until WAAAAY later) but as soon as I befriend them, as a person who grew up super poor, Iinstantly notice how out of touch they are with the concept of having to work hard to get thingsand now I finally understand why Haruhi would always say:

My major is full of very rich people and all I want to know isWHAT’S WITH RICH PEOPLE AND CLASSICAL STUDIES?

If you get into this major, please be advised that you might end up in the same classes as the children of celebrities, politicians, CEOs of tech companies/car companies, etc. As someone who has only ever seen these kinds of people on TV/news outlets, meeting their kids and working with them on a project for classis so strange,(I just pretend I don’t know who their parents are and treat them like I would anyone because they’re so used to the limelight they seem to like the break and just be treated like a normal person).

Please don’t ask me who their parents are,I just wanted to point out thatrich people tend to major in the Classical Studies field!
